From the article:
Honestly, that's pretty decent of them.
That’s great but only represents Costco. I purchased a lot of things not from Costco that had explicit tariff surcharges on them
Ok? This article is about Costco
It’s also generally about corporations receiving the tariff refunds and not us
No. That's what we call "hijacking the thread", which is just plain rude.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sorry, but you're wrong here. Discussing the obvious implications (if CostCo wins, so does every other import company) is a natural thing to do in this location. If you don't like it, don't follow those threads.
The article literally says Costco is just the latest company to file suit and lists a bunch of other companies too
The article is literally about Costco. They throw in a single line at the very end about some other companies.
Yes it’s about Costco filing suit to get a refund for the tariffs they paid, just like every other company that filed the same suit as mentioned
It is not just about Costco it’s about corporations suing the government to get tariff refunds
So, the focus is the article is ...the brief side note where they mention the other companies??
What the fuck ever, dude.

I’m shocked yall missing the grander point of this article which is corporations get the tariff refunds and not us 🤷♀️
Costco paid the tariffs
